The bogus backlash against progressive prosecutors

“I feel like I was played for a fool,” says Harry Mulholland. “Honestly. I felt a little violated.”

Mulholland is a genuine hero. Earlier this year, he witnessed three assailants attack and attempt to carjack a 75-year-old woman in the parking lot of a San Francisco Safeway. Mulholland intervened, punching out the back window of the car to scare off the attackers, who then fled the scene. One of them, a 16-year-old girl, was later arrested. The others have yet to be identified.
